Has the face of L’Oreal Dame Helen done a Gerald Ratner?

DAmE helen mirren is handed a fortune by l’oreal to promote the cosmetics giant’s products.

so I look forward to hearing what they make of the oscar winner’s latest comments.

In remarks that could be compared with Gerald ratner’s memorable description of his jewellery as ‘crap’, mirren has claimed l’oreal’s ‘AgePerfect rosy-tone moisturiser’, which costs £15 a pop in Boots, is likely to be completely useless.

speaking to campaign magazine, mirren, 72, admitted: ‘I’m an eternal optimist — I know that when I put my moisturiser on it probably does f*** all, but it just makes me feel better.’

Don’t worry, Dame helen, your secret is safe with me.
